Update, I did a manual firmware update to 2.0.0.74 all in the hope of setting up a guest network and solving some intermittent network drops from my DirectTv Genie (solved another way)
Installed the firmware and then spent about 2 total hours on the phone with Netgear support. End result, they sent me a new router because they thought it was a hardware failure. I was/am a bit sceptical as it worked fine without out it but was unworkable with 2.0.0.74, so we'll see what happens today. Curious to see what version of firmware comes with it. The satellites are already updated to 2.0.0/74 so it may be interesting
